I just phoned the MAC store where I am a regular and asked if they were already accepting pre-orders for the Strength collection. She said that they were and I went ahead and placed mine. The process was a little different than I have had in the past. They had me buy a MAC gift card for the purchase total and they apply that to the order rather than just leaving my credit card number as in the past. She said they were expecting the product in early December (say what?!) but that she wasn't sure when I would be able to pick it up. I told her I had heard it was after Christmas and she said that sounded about right!
Like I said, I'm glad to have it out of the way!

I must be nuts. I ordered Chanel Notorious without seeing it in person - it should arrive early next week. I love its neutrality and unusual character - grey taupe . But i'm not sure if i'll love its shimmer. I like shimmery highlighters and some shimmery blushes, but i'm concerned about shimmer in a contour. Oh, well, i can always put some matte powder over it.

:) I thought the same as you! The sheen is what makes this natural. It's hard to explain. I wouldn't call it a shimmer more like a natural sheen. But the sheen works because of the color. It makes the taupe shade way more wearable and it looks natural with the right amount. It's like the sheen make's it less intense... in a way. I NEVER like contour powder because it looks entirely too muddy. I love Notorious. :)

I'm using Make Up For Ever's Aqua Lip Pencil in 18C with MAC Vegas Volt lipstick. It's just a tiny bit brighter than the lipstick.

Lasting Sensation is coral on me. Entertain Me lip pencil is orange. I wear Lasting Sensation with my coral lipsticks: MAC Vegas Volt, MAC Watch Me Simmer, Revlon Siren, Chanel Flamboyante, etc.

I like to use Auburn for my orange-red lipsticks like Sail La Vie and So Chaud. It adds more definition for my deeper skin tone.

I called around to see if I could pre-order this collection. The stores I called said they're not doing pre-orders. But I really like how the SA at one of the stores I called seemed genuinely excited for this collection. She raved about how great everything is and said Firm Form is to die for. I can't wait!
